HeyYou

This is really the crux of our polarization isn't it ? Using our sense of it , instead of actually agreeing upon what decency means (or lack there of) Would a good start be a top 10 ? I'll bet everybody could find a common top 10 with anybody else. Everybody else ... of freaking course not. Hmmm having a top 10 list of what is decent kinda sounds familiar ... did we do this before ? Maybe the list has become just to long for the scope of people it is suppose to encompass ? And that cycle of event sounds familiar too . Trouble is, the definition of what is 'decent' keeps shifting, and sliding further and further away from what it once was. Things that at one time were taboo, and never, ever spoken of in public, have now become 'accepted behaviors'. At least, by some..... and some of the issues you will simply never get both sides to agree on a solution. Not to mention some of the 'solutions' proposed by one side or the other, won't make a bit of difference, yet they still push those views. Government isn't in the business of SOLVING problems in any event. They use stop-gap measures to postpone the need for a real solution until some indefinable future time...... Lather, Rinse, Repeat. If they SOLVED the problem, they wouldn't be able to use it as a political football any more, and wouldn't be able to beat up the 'other party' for not fixing it when THEY were in power. Politics in the US just suck. The government is owned by the corporations. The folks in government are NOT there for the betterment of the country. They are there to make sure they get re-elected, and get as much money from the public trough as they can. If you aren't rich when you go into congress, you most certainly are by the time you get out. IF you ever get out. Something needs to change. Trouble is, the folks that have the power to change it, are the very same folks that benefit the most from NOT changing it. The inmates are in charge of the asylum. Peachy.

Yeah, we spend millions of dollars on political campaigns, which start YEARS before the elections...... Back in the day of horse and buggys, with no telephone, no radio, etc, I could see how that would make sense. (the timing, not the money) But, today, we have instant communication, and your message can be heard 'round the world in seconds..... so, why the extended campaigns??? I would love to see some variety of election/campaign/finance reform, but, as the only folks that can change it, are the very same people that benefit most from NOT changing it....... I don't see it happening. Ever.

Wow. That looks REALLY good. What settings are you playing on, and what hardware?

That is a fact. Unfortunately. I don't see it changing either. This has been brewing for some time now, it just came to the boiling point with the election of Obama as pres. Then, the 'us vs. them' attitude truly bloomed, and it has only gotten worse as time passes. The philosophical differences between the two major parties have grown so far apart, I don't EVER see them coming together again. And now we have AOC, with her 'Green New Deal'...... which a fair few dems are supporting. Of course, they have no idea how they are going to pay for it, nor do they have any clue just how unworkable it really is. Should they actually gain enough traction to start moving on that, our economy will suffer in ways that make the great depression look like a kids party....... Trouble is, if you tell folks "Vote for me, and I will give you so much free stuff, that you won't have to work." they will indeed vote for you.......

Your Grandfathers died in vain, thanks to McConnell, and the Fascists in the Senate and House, who are enabling Trump. Fascists have very little in common with communists.......

I'm thinkin' ya gotta be at least a bit crazy to want that job.......

Awww, shucks. And here was me thinking that, with a GTX 1070, I could do whatever I wanted. Why can a man not simply mod his game and have fun with it without issue? It honestly sucks the fun out of playing the game sometimes, with the troubleshooting and all. :sad: But yeah, I'll do that. I even have a plan in my head. Thanks anyway pal, have a good one. Well, you do have a pretty significant vid card, and processor, so, you can actually do quite a bit before it even STARTS to affect performance. I you start adding a bunch of 4K textures though, those will beat you up right quick. :D I run on a 1060, at vanilla ultra, and just turn off GodRays, lense flare, and the game runs great. And I only have an AMD X4 965 black..... (3.4ghz) Your processor is much more powerful than mine. :D YES, BEHOLD THE POWER OF MY CPU! :laugh: But seriously, does turning off god rays and lens flare make the game look ugly, or is it still good-looking? How many mods do you run, if any at all? I run 80 or so mods, but, none of them are to make the game pretty. Mostly game-play changes, or adding items to the game. (and the workshop menus....) Turning off 'pretty' features does indeed improve performance. I just turn off the stuff I don't really care about.

You can have visual beauty, or performance, but, not both at the same time. :) Just the way it goes. Not to mention "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder. :D Best bet is to look at visual mods that change what you are looking for, and add them one at a time, and see how bad they beat up performance.

Search for adult content. (a setting in your preferences) Lovers Lab might be more what you are looking for. (webiste)

Nvidia graphics card? Might try this:

I tend to keep backups of esp files I have edited to my tastes...... Then, if I ever need to actually reinstall, I simply copy the entire folder of esp files to my data folder, and it's all good. :D

Well, ya also gotta keep in mind, that the original settlers of America/Australia were pretty much all on the same page. I.E. They all wanted the same thing. In the case of post world war three USA, you aren't starting 'fresh', you are trying to build on the ashes of a once-advanced civilization. It also is not empty..... the previous inhabitants are still there....... Granted, I would think after 200 and change years, it would be more likely to have 'settled' to something akin to feudal lords, and the territory each controlled....... Folks whose sole purpose was to prey on others, shouldn't have lasted quite so long.....

There are threads on the beth forums for just such an occasion. :) Most of them cater specifically to the console folks. Might wanna have a look there.

What I usually did was install the game on the new machine, then copy the entire game folder from the old machine, to the new machine. Worked perfect for me, as I installed the mods manually. I know there is a way to migrate NMM installs to a new machine, but, I don't know what the exact procedure is, I *think* I remember seeing a thread about it in the NMM support forums.......

Nevermind. I'm an absolute idiot. Turns out that this effect is a part of the mod and can easily be removed by using a gas mask wipe that you can craft infinitely at a chemical workstation for free. Sorry for wasting your time. God bless and have a great day. I never would have figgered that one out. :D

Yeah, there are several. Do an advanced search for 'concrete' and select the category for settlement objects. (don't remember the exact name at the moment.)

English please? :) What seems to be your problem?

Or simply start a new game....... I don't make it to diamond city till I am well into double digit levels......

Check the link in my sig, we have a school for skyrim CS. The classes will get you going with the CS. :) After that, you can play to your hearts content. (note, classes are for oldrim, but, se isn't much different.)

Which game(s) do you want to mod??

What DID happen to him? I haven't seen him around for quite some time, and can't even find his username on here...... Buddah's last post... https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/user/49282-buddah/ Holy smokes, 2011???? I guess I am a bit behind the times....... I found a post from November 2012 as well. (I was spelling his name wrong, that's why I couldn't find it.....) Still, almost 7 years ago? Does anyone know if something happened to him?? Edit some more: Ok, last post was apparently in 2013, however, last active shows 2017??????

The majority of beth's sales are on console so yea, mod makers are great, but we're hardly significant for the game's sales or lifespan. I would agree that mod authors don't really drive game sales, at least, not in any significant fashion, however, I do think that mod authors are indeed responsible the longevity of the games. How many folks are still playing Morrowind on their XBox? And how many are still playing on PC?? :D We don't have any solid data on who is actually still playing the older games on consoles...

Find the mod you want, and then just copy the URL from your browser (it's in the address bar) to whatever app you are using that wants it.
